In Java, you can use == operator to compare Enum value.
1. Java Enum example
Language.java
package com.mkyong.java
public enum Language {
JAVA,
PYTHON,
NODE,
NET,
RUBY
2. Compare with ==
Example to compare enum value with == operator.
Test.java
package com.mkyong.java
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Covert string to enum
//Language enumObj = Language.valueOf("java".toUpperCase());
Language enumObj = Language.JAVA;
if (enumObj == Language.JAVA) {
System.out.println("Welcome Java");
} else if (enumObj == Language.NET) {
System.out.println("Welcome .Net");
} else if (enumObj == Language.NODE) {
System.out.println("Welcome Node JS");
} else if (enumObj == Language.PYTHON) {
System.out.println("Welcome Python");
} else if (enumObj == Language.RUBY) {
System.out.println("Welcome Ruby");
} else {
System.out.println("Hello World");
Output
Welcome Java
3. Compare with Switch
Alternatively, you can compare enum value with switch statement.
Test.java
package com.mkyong.java
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Language enumObj = Language.PYTHON;
switch (enumObj) {
case JAVA:
System.out.println("Welcome Java");
break;
case NET:
System.out.println("Welcome .Net");
break;
case NODE:
System.out.println("Welcome Node JS");
break;
case PYTHON:
System.out.println("Welcome Python");
break;
case RUBY:
System.out.println("Welcome Ruby");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Hello World");
break;
Output
Welcome Python
